[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In our area the rich is 600 k, nationally it's around 387k. Wtf is this 250k bs.

To be considered part of the 1 percent in this area, it takes a household income far above the national average of $387,000. The gateway for the region is $527,000. In the District, the top 1 percent of households bring in at least $617,000; in Montgomery County, more than $606,000; and in Fairfax County, $532,000, according to an analysis of census statistics by The Washington Post and Sentier Research, a firm that specializes in income data.

So [b]by your definition, only the top 1% is "wealthy"[/b]?  How did you come to that conclusion?  Why not only the top 0.00001%?

THIS.  You live in a wealthy area.  Therefore, more people are going to have objectively more money and still not be in the "top."  If you lived somewhere where everyone in the top 50% made more than 1 million, that doesn't mean that 1 million ISN'T a lot of money![/quote]
